006 | Avert Your Ears
[ And today, you are greeted by the sound of what seems to be a meowth being stretched on a rack. The camera isn't pointed at anything in particular but it does seem to be a rather good view of one of the routes. Too bad those sounds are ruining the scenery. These are screeches and yowls so vicious, you'd probably think it was two meowth fighting over a rattata. It goes on for probably five minutes in what seems to be a poorly attempted "Ode to Joy" and then stops abruptly due to a vicious
CRACK. ]
Ow!
[ Ow? Rattata don't go ow. And neither do pokemon. What you do get afterward though is the sound of ruffling and a "funf" as someone deposits himself right next to the Gear. ]
Blimey, Niccolo, can we take a break? At the rate you're going, m'prolly going to end up being unable to use this hand for a week!
[ And then you hear chittering.
ANGRY Kricketune chittering.
And a sigh from the poor belaguered Mister Knox. ]
Listen, I appreciate you trying to teach me the violin and all but could you take it e-- [ CRACK ] OW!
Alright, alright. Let's have at it again then.
[ To which the yowling begins anew. ]

Not even a giggle.
Really, that's rude, everyone starts somewhere and it's not as though she can say she's even passingly familiar with instruments.]
Having some trouble there, Ronald?
no subject
The screeching stops though before hearing Ronald going "Hang on. Take five!" and picking up the Gear while setting a violin next to him. ]
Just a bit of trouble! Niccolo here thought he'd take it upon himself to teach me to play.
Turns out it'd be a bit harder'n I thought.
no subject
[That's what makes them worth it in the end, yadda yadda.]
I didn't even know you had the inclination to play. What sparked this interest?
no subject
[ But he's grateful for the break, though. That kricketune can hurt when he wants to. ]
Was Niccolo's idea, really. Heard me playing on a leaf and thought he'd have a go at teaching me the violin.
no subject
[But never her, so why did she even bring that up? Who knows, it's Botan.]
You'll get better, Ronald! You just need to keep at it!

[That was... quite the interesting music. And perhaps a touch unpleasant, but then again, it's not as though he has experience with stringed instruments.
Still looking kinda baffled, though.]
I'd know idea Pokémon even possessed musical prowess.
[Well, he knew they could sing, but instruments are an entirely diffeent story.]
no subject
[ In the background, you can hear something that sounds like a cross between a violin and a cricket cry. But it's more melodious... like it was a composition all its own. ]
There you are then.
one of these days, I will stop losing threads B|
[Heh. And it's here that he cracks a wry smile.]
I've a Lapras who's rather fond of singing, but her songs are a bit too soothing. So soothing that she puts her audiences to sleep!
I feel your pain B(
[ A rake of his hand through his hair because he knows the pain of Sing. ]
Course, it never does well for the rest of us. We end up falling asleep whenever he tries, too.
no subject
[But then, this is a different world. He knows better than to apply his own logic to it.]

You better listen to what he says! When my Sunflora tries to teach me how to dance, she's the boss. No questions asked.
[video]
S'that right? Didn't know pokemon had it in them to dance!
[video]
[video]

[Though, he seems more built for that sort of thing, whereas Jimmy's Sunflora just up and decided that was something she wanted to do with her life.]

Honestly Knox, must you do this right now?
[ As if any time would be suitable in William's book. Does he need to come over there and smack Ronald, as well? ]
no subject
This? D'you mean attempt to pick up the fiddle?
[ Because there's always a good time for it. ]

no subject
[ Have a grin back as he stands up again. ]
Just took Niccolo out for a bit of fresh air, sir. Wasn't going to stray far.
no subject
[ He merely means to go play the violin out of earshot. If you could even call that playing. ]

It looks hard to learn... Your pokemon's your teacher? I didn't know they could do all that.
no subject
Neither did I! Niccolo prolly got the idea from when he heard me playing a leaf once.
no subject
You can play a leaf too? Like some Jump hero?! [RIN, THERE IS NO WAY RON KNOWS WHAT A JUMP HERO IS]
no subject
[ And there's a confused little blink there. ]
What's a... Jump Hero?
[ Is it a hero that saves the world by jumping? ]
no subject
[SHREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-- HOW EXPLAIN JUMP] ...Uhm. It's from a magazine. It's called Jump and the stories have heroes?
